Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Religion and Temperance Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. - 1 Cor. 16: 13. The terms in this verse are all military. "Watch ye!" watch and be always on your guard, lest yon be surprised by your enemies. Keep your scouts out, and all your sentinels at their posts, lest your enemies steal a march upon you. See that the place you are in be properly defended, and that each be alert to perform his duty. 1st. Watch ye, that your mind be always stayed on God. The devil and his instruments may do strange things to support the credit of his falling cause, and lying wonders may be wrought, that may stagger the incautious; but whatever would draw us from Christ must be rejected with abhorrence. We are too apt to look upon outward grandeur with the eye of sense, and to be influenced by the pomp and glory of the world, and forgetting the requirement of God, laid down in his holy word, telling us to "watch and pray lest we enter into temptation," we lean to our own understanding instead of trusting in God, and the result is that our courage and strength fail us in the hour of trial, as they did Elijah the prophet, at one time, when the wicked queen of Israel threatened to take away his life. Instead of magnifying his office, he in effect rejected it. Like Jonah, he fled from the presence of the Lord, and lay concealed in Horeb, when he ought to have confronted the idolatrous Jezebel, and endeavored to confirm the convictions which the lat 6 miracle had made on the minds of the people.
